Honk if you like India…

Makes the autorickshaw even more like a clown car
I’m traveling at the moment in Rajasthan with Joel and Kate. I won’t be near the Internet much for several days. Enjoy preset blog posts.
Indians like to honk. That’s undeniable. It also can be incredibly annoying.
Unless you’re in a Pondicherry rickshaw, where the horn is an old fashioned honker with a squeeze ball. Then the hornographic obsession is wicked.

Peaceful streets of Pondi

Wide, clean avenues... ahh that colonial French influence.
The former French territory Pondicherry still bears some charms of its colonial past. Chief among them, a French quarter that is calm and clean and open.

Floral nostalgia in Pondicherry

My favorite flower
When I was a child, my father tried, with some limited success, to grow plants from his childhood in India. And so it was that bougainvillea became one of my favorite flowers. We had a small potted plant with deep red leaves, but in India (and many other semi-tropical climates) they grow in many shades and as big as small trees.
The above comes from a warm street in Pondicherry.

Headed for Pondicherry and diving

Look at that bite
My mother is here in India visiting. We’re taking a little trip to Pondicherry in what was once French colonial territory until 1954. I’m also going to get in a couple days of diving. Mom may give it a shot, too.
